Recipes Differ

Love the app. Would be nice if one could add personal notes and ratings. Also, I noticed that the Junior recipe lists the original proportions, not the updated variation in the PDT book. Wondering if this is the case for many other cocktails...

Excellent. Dont be discouraged.

An excellent companion to the book. Dont be discouraged if the initial assessment shows you can only make a small amount of the recipes - many of the "missing" ingredients may be things youve already got around the house, especially if youre making cocktails at home: sugar, water, lemons, limes, etc. And if youve got sugar and water you can make simple syrup, so add that one to your list too. Additionally, the app offers basic substitutions to make it easier to increase the number of recipes available to you. Example: you can substitute generic "bourbon" if you dont have "Buffalo Trace", "rye" if you dont have "Old Overholt", and so on. I love how easy it is to add your ingredients, how it shows how many recipes include each ingredient, the description of each ingredient and examples for each category, how your ingredients sync across other apps from the same developer (the "Easy Cocktails" app, Wondrichs app, etc), and how its easy to see recipes for which you are missing only one or two ingredients. The only feedback I would provide is it would be nice to have the ability to rate each cocktail for personal preference (I dont care to see others ratings though). Also, the ability to add ingredients to a Wish List or Shopping List would be beneficial. Now if we can only get an app for other books too, like Speakeasy, Death & Co, any of Dale DeGroffs books, etc. One final note, if you find these recipes too complicated, or requiring too many obscure or homemade ingredients, try the Easy Cocktails app from the same developer. Keep in mind, PDT is a world-class cocktail bar that pushed the envelope. You cant reasonably expect the casual home bar to have all these ingredients on hand, or the casual home bartender to have the desire to seek out all the ingredients. Just because you buy "The French Laundry" or "El Bulli" cookbooks doesnt mean youre going to be cooking like Keller or Adrià at home any time soon. Check your expectations.

Close to perfection

Every time I think this app cant get any better, you go and make it better. The *only* thing this app was missing was a way to take notes on drinks Ive made. Now it has that. Love the creative recipes, love the inventory features. Favorite cocktail app.

game-chaning app, great developer support

When I was in college I had a dream to make my friends any drink they wanted and drive a flying car. This was a fantasy, not the least of reasons because organizing a bar is difficult, and because flying cars do not exist. However, this app has allowed me to realize the dream in the most convenient way imaginable. This app makes the connections behind the recipes for you, helps you pick most useful things to buy, manage your inventory. Simply log your bar inventory. It then knows what you can make, what you cannot make, and helps you figure out spirits of opportunity to discover what to buy next to optimize the number of drinks you can make. It shows you which you are one or two ingredients away from making. Did I mention it does all that while featuring an incredible collection of well-curated recipes? It does that. I have not mixed a drink I did not enjoy. The developer supports the app like no other. I have never found such a kind, considerate, communicative developer who was so truly interested in understanding and assisting in supporting the app, despite the fact that I was running an older release of iOS. Some reviewers complain about the price. They are fools. For twice the price considering the curation, more efficient ingredient purchases because of the apps analytics, and the curation, this app is a bargain. The money I save in purcahses alone because the app optimizes those ingredients with which I can make the most drinks (I can discern and choose based on my individual taste from the sample it recommends). Then consider the curation: you are getting an almost mechanically intelligent version of a book that costs with shipping approximately $20. To this, add that you get great support and you carry the information everywhere because the developer has made it an app.

Great

Always loved the PDT book and this is perfect because it lists what you can make with the ingredients you have. Well done!

Been waiting a year for this

Awesome to have PDT recipes on my phone! Its missing a couple of my favorites from the book, but does have some additional recipes. The entire family of cocktail apps from this company are fantastic, I look forward to seeing them updated.

Solid. Great UI.

Ive got about 100-150 different cocktail ingredients at home, but sometimes I struggle with creative ways to combine them. You add your inventory of ingredients and it easily guides you to cocktails you can make either entirely or partially. A great resource for a home bartender. My wife has also taken a liking to it since Im not always home, yet she would still like to be able to make drinks for herself based on whats in the cabinet.
